Led by Dr. Bobby Chhabra, the University of Virginia (UVA) Orthopedics Center offers comprehensive facilities spanning sports medicine, joint replacements, and orthopedic trauma. Dr. Chhabra and the UVA Orthopedics Center were featured in a March 2022 UVA University News article about the newly opened center.
As he describes it, the facility represents a culmination of efforts over the course of a decade to make the state-of-the-art medical location a reality. Breaking ground in late 2017, the building took three-and-a-half years to complete and is one of four similar facilities located in New York City, at Emory University in Georgia, and at the University of Florida.
The patient-centric 195,000-square-foot orthopedic and musculoskeletal care facility spans 90 exam rooms, four operating rooms, a retail pharmacy, and imaging and support services. As Dr. Chhabra describes it, one major upgrade has involved placing UVA Orthopedics’ previously dispersed outpatient clinics under one roof. This means patients with multiple and complex injuries, requiring specialized support from various departments, can receive care at a single location rather than visiting multiple clinics across Charlottesville.
